HOMOGENEOUS HYPERCOMPLEX STRUCTURES I–THE COMPACT LIE GROUPS

Hypercomplex Structures on Four-dimensional Lie Groups

The purpose of this paper is to classify invariant hypercomplex structures on a 4-dimensional real Lie group G. It is shown that the 4dimensional simply connected Lie groups which admit invariant hypercomplex structures are the additive group H of the quaternions, the multiplicative group H∗ of nonzero quaternions, the solvable Lie groups acting simply transitively on the real and complex hyper...

Compact Lie Groups

The first half of the paper presents the basic definitions and results necessary for investigating Lie groups. The primary examples come from the matrix groups. The second half deals with representation theory of groups, particularly compact groups. The end result is the Peter-Weyl theorem.

Lie Groups and p-Compact Groups

A p-compact group is the homotopical ghost of a compact Lie group; it is the residue that remains after the geometry and algebra have been stripped away. This paper sketches the theory of p-compact groups, with the intention of illustrating the fact that many classical structural properties of compact Lie groups depend only on homotopy theoretic considerations. 1 From compact Lie groups to p-co...

Einstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups

When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
